Wow…what a game. As good as the Orange looked in the first half, they looked just as bad in the second half. Of course the officiating was ridiculously uneven as well. As usual box score analysis shows some keys to the game:

I don’t think I’d believe it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. Syracuse shot 90% from the free throw line, making 27 out of their 30 shots. That was huge.

The Orange also made eight of their 15 three point shots. The Hoyas shot a cold 20% behind the three point arc, 5-20.
